Morphology, Conductivity, and Mechanical Properties of Electropolymerized Polypyrrole/Silver-Coated Granular Microsphere Composite Films
The study reports a facile synthesis of polypyrrole/silver-coated granular microsphere composite films through electropolymerization process in the presence of low- and high- density conductive granular microspheres. The resulting morphologies of composite films were implicitly influenced by the...
